The tendency to treat pets as a family member is spreading in big cities in China, and daily care services for pets have the potential （潜力，潜能）to become profitable earners following endorsement （认可，支持）by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security as one of nine “new careers（职业）”last December. Li Xin, a pet stylist at Beijing Pet Hospital, told Beijing Star Daily that regular health care for pets was necessary, including combing, bathing, cleaning the ears, and trimming the nails and hair. “It needs great care and patience for every step. Care needs to be taken when trimming a puppys nails, for example. After the basic health requirements comes the individual styling, which depends on the character of the pets and on the weather. ” Generally, it takes one or two hours to give a full service to a small pet and four to five hours for a bigger one, according to Ling Fengjun, president, of Beijing Pet Hospital. China Small Animal Protect Association recently released statistics showing that there were 420,000 registered pets in Beijing, over 200 pet hospitals and clinics, but only 90,000 vets （兽医）, and nursing staff working in China. For newcomers, the starting monthly salary is around two thousand Yuan. After working for two to three years, those with a Bachelors degree can earn between 3,000 and 8,000, while an experienced one might make 10,000. Ling said, “With more focus to regulate the industry by issuing （颁发）qualification certificates, the market for pet beauty and health has huge development potential. ” 56. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Every pet needs daily care services. B. Pet dogs need more care than any other animal. C. Beijing is in great need of vets and nursing staff. D. Pets beauty salons will be too busy to deal with any pet. 57. We can learn from the article that _. A. a pet stylist should be skillful and creative B. a pet beauty salon is always crowded on holidays C. dog owners have to be patient in a pet hospital D. an experienced vet earns more money than a pet stylist a month 58. Which is the best title for the article? A. Pet Health and Beauty B. Pet Care a Growth Industry C. Great Need in Pet Stylists D. Social Care for Pets 56. C57. A58. BB One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit ones mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that, ”and it is even harder to say, “I was wrong, and you were right about that. ” I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons （箱子）. Then he related an incident and I began to remember clearly the incident he was describing. I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place. There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were stacked three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so I went to work. The Manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting （examining）some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the criminal. He severely scolded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, obviously the manager did not. 59. The author was _ when he wrote this article. A. about 8 B. about 18 C. about 23 D. about 15 60. Who should have been blamed for knocking off the stacks of cartons? A. The author. B. The manager. C. The woman. D. The authors mother. 61. When the manager scolded him the author _. A. was frightened and cried B. tried to explain C. did not say anything D. felt the manager was right 62. It can be inferred that the author _. A. regrets arguing with the manager for what he didnt do B. would like to tell people never to be fooled by an egg sale C. has forgiven the manager for what he did to him fifteen years ago D. expects the woman to say sorry to him for the mistake she made 59. C60. C 61. B62. C I would like to encourage parents, and anyone reading this column to express your special thanks to the men and women who share the care giving of your children. Write your childrens teachers a little note to tell them how important they are. it will make their day. Actually they need far more than thanks. They need pay that is equitable （reasonable）to the important work they do. In our country, we pay nearly the same salaries to the attendants who park and watch our cars as we do to trained people who care for our children. When you give your car to the attendant, you want it kept in a safe place and you want to get it back without a scratch （划痕）. When you give your child to a preschool teacher or caregiver, they do much more. Quality childcare is physically and emotionally demanding. Children are active, vulnerable （be easily harmed）, and eager to learn, and they also need individualized, loving attention. Caregivers teach health, safety, personal hygiene （卫生）; they teach values and self-discipline. They lay the foundations for learning reading, science, and math. They teach cooperation and the work ethic （道德规范）. Caregivers in quality child care homes and centers do everything possible for children, and they keep on doing it until they burn out, or can no longer afford to keep it up. They have families too. We lose many of our best early childhood teachers because so many of them have no health benefits. Fair wages and basic health benefits will keep the good people in the field that our children need. Please write your state and federal representatives （参、众议院议员）to urge their support of young children, their education and their quality care. 63. The underlined expression “it will make their day”（para. 1）means “_”.A. it will make them happy B. it will remind them of their duties C. it will make them remember that day D. it will encourage them to show their kindness 64. According to the passage many caregivers give up their job because _. A. they dont like working with children B. they have to look after their own children C. they are not well trained to be fit for the job D. they get paid too little to support their families 65. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Parents always express their special thanks to their childrens teachers. B. The local government has been worried about preschool teachers. C. Car attendants are able to learn to get better paid than caregivers. D. Child caregivers ought to be well respected and better paid. 66. The author would probably agree that _. A. child caregivers play an important role in preschool education B. parents should teach their children how to protect themselves C. the country is in great need of quality school teachers D. a car attendant is able to learn to be a quality caregiver 63. A64. D65. D 66. AD Theres a modern African proverb I like to use when explaining why I feel it is so important to give back to my homeland: “When you take the elevator （lift）up to reach the top, please dont forget to send the elevator back down, so that someone else can take it to the top. ” As a young man, I was given a wonderful opportunity to pursue an education in the United States at Georgetown University. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would lead to a career in the NBA, which has allowed me to send the elevator back down to my people in Africa. Africa has been described as a continent that is dying, a continent that is suffering, a continent that needs help. It breaks my heart every day to think of all the children growing up in poverty （贫困）, and without a sense of hope. But there is hope. Its hard for me to describe my feelings when I think about what NBA players are doing to spread good will to people all over the world, but especially in Africa. Ive waited so long for such a moment seeing more NBA players participating and devoting their time and energy for the youth of the African continent. Theres nothing that brings more joy to my heart than this. The kids that we were working with come from such deep suffering. Some have never even left their village before. To get an opportunity to board a plane and travel to another country to take part in Basketball without Borders, to meet and interact with NBA players and coaches, is like a dream come true. They got to eat wonderful meals. Theyre given a uniform and basketball shoes. Some of them are so overwhelmed, they dont even know what to say. Pete Babcock, who was general manager of the Atlanta Hawks when I played for them, told me in all his years around basketball, he has never received as many thank you as he did in Africa. When I hear something like that, I feel such a deep sense of pride, because I know how truly appreciative these kids are for this experience. 67. What can we learn about the author? A. He dreamt of being a NBA player when he was young. B. He has made a lot of contributions to his homeland. C. He has trained several famous African basketball players. D. He wants the African people to remember what he has done for them. 68. What the author has expected most is that _. A. he will return to his homeland after he is retired B. more and more African children get trained in Africa C. the African people can survive from poverty by themselves D. his NBA fellows are able to do something for the African youth 69. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. All the African kids have never left their hometown. B. The author still plays basketball for Atlanta H
